Good for them! One tabloid reports that there are actually two on the way. According to Woman’s Day, the princess is either “quite far along all of a sudden or there might be two babies on the way.”
The tabloid cites two pieces of evidence, one is a photograph provided of a baby bump. The other is less straightforward. The couple recently lent their names to two koala bears in the Sydney Featherdale Wildlife Park. The couple “named not one but two koalas” which could be a cheeky nod to two babies.
“Eugenie would love the subterfuge about being pregnant,” a source tells the tabloid. She could be “leaving hints like that for fans if she was having twins.” When Princess Eugenie announced her pregnancy, she did so with a pair of baby shoes and one baby emoji. All coverage of the announcement says there is just one baby on the way.
In regards to the baby bump photograph, we don’t know how far along she is, nor is the photo of an especially good angle, as she’s midstride. There isn’t any practical evidence to support the claim of twins.
As for the whole koala bear thing… well that’s just plain stupid, right? The couple named two koalas, one Eugenie and another Jack, after their own first names. The tabloid could just as easily say the fact that Brooksbank has two eyes that could be “subterfuge.”
A bab, one,y has already been publicly announced, so there is no utility to subterfuge anyway. Tabloids are often not content to speculate about royal babies unless there are two.
This Princess Eugenie story is a great example of this: she’s announced that she’s pregnant, but the tabloids would rather speculate about twins than celebrate one child. Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are both frequently targeted with twin rumors. Do we need to point out their neither duchess has had twins?
